That production wasn't moved to China and Mexico over night. It happened over a long period of time. Meaning the business owner decided it wasn't worth his time to find a solution to the problem, and let the business go under. If you're in the production or manufacturing industry, and don't have a business plan if/when things in your industry start being produced/manufactured overseas. Then you're in the wrong fucking industry and the markets will dictate the eventuality of your business failing.

Every business and every industry has it's unique problems, and to every problem there is a solution. A business operator can be proactive, and find solutions. Or they can just sit back and watch their margins shrink year after year until they must eventually close their doors.
